10:01 pm
david: let's listen in now. >> think of it. think of it. she of the great tiebl heritage. what tieb is it. tribe is it. let me think of that one. in the meantime she's based her life on being a minority. pock hopocahontas. they want me to apologize for saying it. pocahontas, aapologize to you. i apologize. to you i apologize. to the fake pocahontas i won't
10:02 pm
that's her only evidence that her mother said she had high check bones. cheekbones. we have to do it gently. we're in the me too generation. we have to be very gentle and we will gently take the kit and we will slowly toss it hoping it doesn't hit her and injure her arm, even though it probably only weighs 2-ounces and we will say i will give you $1 million to your favorite charity fad paid for by trump iu take the test and it shows you're an indian and let's see what she does. i have a feeling she will say no. but we'll hold that for the debates. do me a favor. keep it within this room because i don't want to give away any secrets. and the press is very honorable, they won't -- please don't tell meher what i just said.
10:03 pm
democrats are launching outrageous attacks against our incredible law enforcement and our i.c.e. and border patrol. the new platform of the democrat party -- by the way i call it the demeanor party. it sounds better rhetorically. i wrote best sellers. i guess i speak well. we turned away thousands of people. they never say i'm a great speaker. why the hell do so many people come? it's true. why do they come? why? why oh why do they come? it's got to be something. i guess they'r they like my pol. maybe you like policy. it's true. have you ever noticed, you never hear that. you never hear it.
10:04 pm
there's got to be a reason. i have broken more elton john records -- he seems to have a lot of records. and i, by the way, i don't have a musical instrument. i don't have a guitar or an organ. no organ. elton has an organ and lots of other people helping. we've broken virtually every record because you know, look, i only need this face. they need much more room. for basketball, hockey, all of the sports they need a lot-room. we have people in that space. we break all of these records. but really, we do it without like the musical instruments. this is the only musical, the mouth. and hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? the brain. more important than the mouth is the brain. the brain is much more important. do you ever hear something, they say, you know, we had a case last week, we were in a great place in wisconsin and we had a
10:05 pm
tremendous crowd and we have like the choice of a 22,000-seat arena and in retrospect we would have packed it and they would have sent away thousands of people. but the people said to me, very innocent people, they were great but i hadn't met them. they filled up a 7,000-seat arena, walked away thousands of people, like over 20. and we would have -- i said why don't you use the big arena. they said sir, we knew if you had five vacant seats, empty seats -- vacant because i was in the real estate business, i use that term. if you had five empty seats they would say donald trump was unable to fill the arena. and i said, you know what you're right. how about the one from the "washington post." they got their four hours early and the arena hadn't started letting people in. there was just a few people. you all saw that story, right? they got there four hours,
10:06 pm
five -- this writer, sleazebag. he didn't get fired. he said donald trump had an empty arena. except when i showed up the place was packed and they had to walk away thousands of people, right? and i didn't see the story. but you know who saw the story? the people that were in the arena. and they went nuts. and they apologized. but you know wha where they apologized? on twitter. they apologized. donald trump not very good crowd tonight and they show a totally empty arena. and by the way, hate to say it, take a look at the pictures if are the inauguration. we had some monster crowd. big monster. big monster. but take a look at that. so they show an arena before the people started coming in.
10:07 pm
there were a few people, four or five hours ahead. and they apologized. it's a disgrace. but let me just tell you, the democrats, we call them the democrat party. you know why? the democratic party sounds too good. sounds better wb, doesn't it? i always hate saying the democrat party. and a lot of people are like, the name is the democratic party. the democratic party sounds too good so i don't want to use it. okay? the new plat tomorrow of the democrat party is to apologize i.c.e. in other words they want to abolish immigration enforcement entirely. that's what they want to do. they want everybody coming in. the be beauty with i.c.e., theye so tough. when you have ms13 thugs come in, i.c.e. goes in and wipes them out like nothing because they're much tougher. they wipe them out. and they liberate towns in long
10:08 pm
island open other places. it's like you're occupied -- it's like the nation is occupying your country. so we're taking them out by the thousands. and if it weren't for i.c.e. we wouldn't be doing it. these are savage games, ms-13 and others. we will not stand for these vile democrats against our law enforcement. and that includes our great police, that includes or great border patrol, that includes or military where they're always fighting against funding for the military. we will always stand by, proudly, the heros, and there are heros on i.c.e. and border patrol and law enforcement and our military. every day i'm president we will track down the gang members, drug dealers, child predators and criminal aliens that we
10:09 pm
find, we will get them, we will throw them the hell out of our country, we'll put them in jail. [cheers & applause] so this year, in november, if you want to save i.c.e., and frankly if you want to save your law enforcement, if you want to save your military, getting military funding -- we got 700 billion, the biggest ever, next year 716. we saved our military. getting military funding from these democrats is almost emboss empossible. they don't want it. they don't care about military. they don't care about law enforcement. they couldn't give a damn. you better vote republican. we need more republicans.
10:10 pm
if you want to protect your family and your community, then you have no choice. you have to vote for matt. you have to vote for republicans. if you want to have a country, if you want borders -- how about borders. wouldn't it be nice to have borders? [ crowd chanting "build that wall" ]. >> we, we are already building the wall. it started in california, in san diego. 1.6 billion. we're asking for $5 billion. and i'll tell you what, it's brutal with these people. they know it's the right thing to do. but they think it will help me. it's not even the republicans. they think it will help trump. if they do it, it's good for
10:11 pm
trump. let's not do it. they're great americans. every day we're keeping our promises, we've created 3.4 million jobs since election day which nobody can even believe. nobody can believe. nobody believes it. i always say if i would have said that on the campaign trail, when i was here or any place else, it would have been brutal. they would have said how can you possibly say a thing like that. 3.4 million new jobs, unemployment claims are at a 45-year low. [cheers & applause] african-american and hispanic american unemployment have reached the lowest levels in the history of our country. remember, what do you have to lose. remember? what do you have to lose. people didn't like it when i said that. what do you have to lose. guess what. we're right. in fact a new poll came out last
10:12 pm
week, we're up in like a week, 10 points with the hispanic community. because they want to be safe. unemployment among woman is at the lowest level it's been in 65 years an. our economic policy can be summed up in three very simple but beautiful words. jobs, jobs, jobs. since the election we have lifted 3 million people off of food stamps. and by the way, on a humanitarian basis, that's a great thing. do you know how much money we save by doing that as a country? 3 million people and it's going up fast. wages for the first time in 18
10:13 pm
years are rising again. people with go out, they can actually choose a job and they have wages that are rising. and six months ago republicans passed the biggest tax cuts in american history, the biggest in american history. everybody in this room has benefited. everybody has benefited. we slashed taxes for working families and saved our family farms. we saved family farms. as a result of o our tax cuts, $300 billion poured back into the united states just in the first quarter of this year alone. and we're going to have a lot more than that. 300 billion came back. money that would have never been able to come back into our country. it's coming back, pouring back. i think the number is going to be $5 trillion. but $350 billion has come back. apple computer is spending
10:14 pm
$350 billion on new campuses, on new facilities. they're bringing back $350 billion, they're putting up their own money. they're going to actually have probably subject to the tax code about $230 billion come back. 95% of u.s. manufacturers are optimistic about the future. that's the highest number ever. think of it. 95% of anything. you don't hear that we also repealed, despite the thumb down at 2:00 in the morning, we also repealed the most horrible aspect of the failed obamacare health care. it's called the individual mandate, so it's gone, gone, gone. it's gone. and you know, that was where you
10:15 pm
had to pay a lot of money for the privilege of not having to pay for bad health care. okay? one of the truly ripoffs, that was a big ripoff but we got rid of it. all of you people -- how many of you were paying not to have it. a lot of people. a lot of people. a lot of people that paid not to have health care. that doesn't work. we are allowing businesses to join forces to buy better health care for less money through association health plans. they just came out two weeks ago and they crossed state lines. were allowed to cross state lines. you're going to get very low prices. millions of people are already signing up. and after decades of waiting, we opened anwar in alaska for energy development. they've been trying to get that approved for 40 years. we've eliminated record numbers
10:16 pm
of job-killing regulation. we've stopped quold th cold thet on our farmers, wanchers, our hunters, energy producers and our great and loving miners. we love our miners. [cheers & applause] and we put our miners back to work. clean coal. we are proudly and strongly protecting our public lands for future generations. you see that. you see it all over. you see what we're doing. you see legislation. you see what's happening. we approved the keystone and the dakota access pipelines right away. 48,00,000 jobs. 48,000 jobs. we withdrew from the job-killing paris climate accord. one of the most unfair deals --
10:17 pm
i said i'm going to get killed when i approve this one. when i sign off this. it sounds so pretty, right, the paris climate, who wouldn't do that. except it's horrible for us. great for other countries, but horrible for us. we took historic action to safeguard your constitutional freedoms, protecting religious liberty, defending the second amendment and confirming a record number of circuit court judges. [cheers & applause] and we are bringing back our wealth from foreign -- you know this, right? we are bringing back our wealth from foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years. for too long we watched and we waited and we saw as other countries stole our jobs, cheated our workers and gutted
10:18 pm
our industry. you look at all of the places here, yeah, even here. but you look at some places, you look at some -- you go up to new england and you still see the remnants where they moved down to mexico under nafta, one of the worst deals that we're negotiating and i have a feeling they'll come along. we'll see. and if they don't, we'll actually do better. we'll actually do better. the united states of america was the piggy bank that everybody was robbing. and let me tell you. our allies in many cases were worse than our enemies. we opened our country to their goods, but they put up massive barrier to keep our products and our goods the hell out of their country because they didn't want that competition. and that's not free trade. that's stupid trade. we're not going to do that. we don't do that anymore.
10:19 pm
we have to have fair and reciprocal, that being the more important word. we need reciprocal. they charge a 50% tax. we charge a 50% tax. then we say look, let's bring it to nothing or i don't care one way or the other, do whatever you want. and then i'll have people complaining. it's incredible. so we have countries ripping us off or years. when i say look, we're going to put tariffs on there because they have been ripping us. we have trade deficits, they have surpluses. that would be unbelievable. so they have all of this. and i say, we are going to do something about it and i'll get calls from some politicians oh, that's tea terrible. i said no, you don't understand. we're going to make great deals. no. just leave it the way it is. please just leave it the way it is. i say no, no. we have all of the cards. we're the bank that everybody is stealing from. you saw with china, $50 billion
10:20 pm
and another $200 billion frankly is waiting. nobody has seen this before because china -- and i have great respect for president xi and china. you have to respect them and admire them. now they'll say donald trump loves china, loves china more than he does the united states. these people. but so you have to be careful what you say. because if i say that, i do, i respect china. and i respect president xi. but they've been killing us $507 billion in trade deficits last year. 507. who the hell can lose 500 -- then you want to do something about it, you get attacked. oh, that's not nice. that's not free trade. the war was lost on trade many years eak. when they're saying not a free trade, i said no, no, the war was lost but now we're going to win it because we have all of
10:21 pm
the cards. but it's always helpful when you don't have the little ones because it's easier to negotiate when you have support. you don't have a senator who wu forced out of office because he didn't like me saying bad things like we shouldn't be doing that against china. we shouldn't be doing that against so and so. we are in such a great position. other countries are calling us. do you know that if we knock down the trade deficit, right, trade deficit by just a little bit, 25%, we can do that easily. that's easy. if we do that, we pick up 1 1 point in gdp. does anybody know that? that's $3 trillion and 10 million jobs. that's just 25%. we pick up one point. and speaking of gdp, remember when i say it's going to go to
10:22 pm
3% pretty quickly and all of this? now the atlanta fed just predicted 4.8%. now who knows. who knows. who knows. who knows. i can only tell you this, it's going to be a lot better than you had with obama. and if these people get elected you would have gone down like you've never seen anything go down. they wouldn't have taken the regulations off, couldn't have given you the tax cuts. the democrats. you would have had an economy ready to crash and burn. it was ready. now we have something that's a rocket ship. every time i meet a leader of another country which is often, they always start off by sir, i would like to congratulate you with the incredible job you've done with the united states economy. japan, south korea. every time they say i would like to congratulate you. and others are actually studying what we've done. they're studying what we've done.
10:23 pm
but we have the greatest people in the world and we're doing good. you know, those hats, those beautiful, beautiful hats, make america great again. soon to be changed to keep america great. soon to be changed. i can't use make america great again for the second run. they say why the hell didn't you do it the first time, right? it's called keep america great. because what we're doing is incredible. it's incredible. we've created -- think of this. since the election we've created in wealth $7 trillion. $7 trillion. $7 trillion. we're the fastest growing nation on an economy basis, maybe it's for the big nations, but i heard nation. we're the fastest growing
10:24 pm
economically nation in the world. think of that. i add the big nation because they're probably back out. whatever it is, we're doing really well. but we're one of the fastest and i think we're actually the fastest growing and we are certainly growing our military and growing our power and our strength. and we're taking care of our vets more than anybody has ever taken care of our vets. thanks to republican leadership, america is winning again. we're winning. remember i told you the story. and america is being respected again all over the world. been a long time. we're respected. somebody said could you tell the winning story. i said, they've heard it. but steve danes, great senator,
10:25 pm
comes up to me and i say hi, steve. and he says, sir, the people of montana, they're really tired, sir, of all of this winning, too much. they can't take it anymore. they can't take it. we've got to slow it down, sir. they can't take it. i say, steve, go back to the people, go back to the people and say, i'm sorry, i cannot honor that request. we are going to win and win and we're going to win more. we are going to win like we've never won before. like we've never won before. because we are finally putting america first. we're putting america first. and by the way, you know, all of the rhetoric you see here, the thousand points -- what was that, thousand points of life. what does that mean? does anyone know? i know one thing, make america
10:26 pm
great again we understand. putting america first we understand. thousand points of life. i never got that one. what the hell is that? has anyone figured that one out? it was put out by a republican, wasn't it? but we are indeed doing things for the country like nobody believed possible. we're rebuilding our economy and at the same time we are restoring our security. we have people flooding our borders like they haven't flooded ever before. they're doing an incredible job but we've never had a rush like this. that's because people want a piece of our action. they want to come into our economy. they want to come in. problem is you have to come in legalegally. you have to come in through legal channels. [cheers & applause] automatic of that moneall of the secured for our military, all of that i've directed t directed tn
10:27 pm
to begin a process of creating a sixth branch of the united states armed forces called the space force. the air force, you'll have the space force. you know, people are so excited by that. you know, it's not just sending rocket to the moon and rockets to -- this is also a military imperative. in fact in russia, they said we consider that very threatening. and others did too. but i'm sorry. i'm sorry. and you know, if it's a part of the air force, the air force is going to focus on the air force. we need a separate branch and we're working on that. it's called the space force, which is very exciting. people love it. they get it and they love it. we passed a landmark va accountability law that everybody said could not be passed. i won't blame the unions and i
10:28 pm
won't blame civil service but let's assume they had a little blame. everyone said it couldn't be passed. has not been able to be passed for 45 years and we just got it passed. va accountability. so now you can fire people when they don't do a job. we can fire people when they don't do a job. you're fired. you get them the hell out. they're not taking care f 0 ourr vets. we fire them. they're out of there. boom. they're out of there. and the other thing that we just passed a few weeks ago, and you've heard me talk about this. i always said, you know, our greatest people, they're the greatest people, the vets. they protected us. some of them have suffered greatly. and we weren't taking proper care of them. they were waiting in line for 12 days. how about anybody in this audience go to the doctor, i'm
10:29 pm
sorry i can't see you for 12 days. you have a bad cold, you have something. people were going in with nothing much and they were coming out six months later, they can't see a doctor. they were coming out with a terminal illness that could have been corrected easily. and i said why aren't we just sending people that have to wait for these long periods. send them across the street to a local doctor. they're taken care of. and we pay the bill. and everybody said we've been trying to get it passed for 40 years. i got it passed three weeks ago. i'm good at getting things passed. remember, we had repeal and replace passed except for one person. and all the democrats. one person plus all of the democrats. we had no democrat, including tester. hi wasn't there for us. president trump is a great man. he's a great man.
10:30 pm
i really got to vote for us. got to vote for us. we also believe that american foreign aid dollars could promote america's interest and values. we don't need to send your hard earned money to countries that vote against the united states consistently in the united states nationeunited nationsand. we don't need it. remember with israel, remember when we had two votes on something having to do with israel. i said we're watching, with all of the aid that we give all of these countries, we're watching. we ended up getting 68 votes. we didn't do anything. because they're ripping us, they're taking our money, they don't even vote for us because they didn't respect our country. but now they respect them a lot more. and in many cases they're not getting that money anymore too. we've stopped that. instead of apologizing for america, we are standing up for
10:31 pm
america and we're standing up for our great american flag. [cheers & applause] how about the nfl. i don't want to cause controversial. you're right, usa is right. i don't want to cause controversy. but how about think passed this stupid thing. you don't have to do this anymore. if you don't respect the flag or you don't like the country, whatever it is, just go into the locker room. just go in the locker room. i think in many respects that's worse. isn't that worse than not standing, you know? i think that's worse. so they say go into the locker room. so okay, the anthem is getting ready to play, they run into the locker room and then they come back out. you know what? that doesn't play. doesn't play. it doesn't play.
10:32 pm
i actually think in many ways it's worse. i heard this thing, they were so happy, the owners. this commissioner, where this guy comes from i have no -- they're paying him $40 million a year and their ratings are down 20%. but you know why their ratings are down? yes, the flag. but they're also down because people find politics, in other words hitting trump incorrectly but hitting trump, they find that to be much tougher, meaner and more interesting than watching a football game. and they're watching the cable networks instead of watching football. they're down 20% since this whole thing started with the flag and the anthem. washington tried to change us but instead we are actually changing washington. we've had a big impact. and now we need matt rosendale in the senate to continue our
10:33 pm
fight to drain the swamp. we're going to get it done. we need to work every day from now until the election for your family, for your community, your country, for your constitution, and this november i need you to get your friends, get your colleagues, get your neighbors and get your ass out to vote. is that okay? get your ass out to vote. vote for matt. they're going to say oh that was not presidential. watch. that was not presidential. did i ever tell you how easy it would be for me to be presidential? like we're all me, you, we're really smart people. i have -, by the way, the most loyal people in the world. they're the smartest people. they're the toughest people. they're the greatest people in the world. but they'll say something like that's not presidential.
10:34 pm
and what i say, acting presidential is so easy for me. it's much easier than what i do. much easier. and sometimes i have to do it. you walk up to the microphone, right. good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the great state of montana. you to put a little emphasis, right? this is wonderful to be with you tonight. thank you for being here, good-bye. no. the people of montana, they know, they know. loyal citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country, returning the power where it belongs, to the people! [cheers & applause]
10:35 pm
[ crowd chanting "usa" ] our proud american ancestors, cross oceans scaled mountains, defeated empires and bimen buile modern world with their own two hands. they were bill brilliant. this state, the state of montana was forged by incredible pioneer men ope and women who braved the cold and came to wilderness to build a beautiful life out here in the open. and i did look at the skies. i heard so much about your sky. i heard so much about your skies. i rode in and looked at the skies.
10:36 pm
ahhh. those are beautiful skies. these montana pioneers were tough and they were strong and they were brilliant. they didn't have a lot of money. they didn't have a lot of luxury. but they had faith. they had heart. they had grit. and they had each other. they had each other. and above all else, they love their families, they loved their country and they loved their g god. we stand on the shoulders of american patriots who knew how to fight and they knew how to win. you talk about winning, they knew how to win. and with your help, your voice

10:38 pm
soon. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again. and we will make america great again! thank you, montana! thank you. [cheers & applause] ♪ ♪ dz the signature song from the rolling stones ending this rally in great falls, montana. although you can tell that the president wanted it to go on and on. it was terrific speech from an improvisation nal point of view. you can see how the president has begun to really master the art of reading and then going off script and blending the two together. joining me now to react to all of this is the dean himself, ed rollins, chairman of great american pact, rollins served
10:39 pm
abwhite house political director under president ronald reagan but i bet he's never seen the likes of the speech that we just heard. ed, how would you summarize what it is that trump does in front of an audience? >> he loves to campaign. there's no question. there are other presidents who like to campaign but none quite in the partisan way that he is. i watched this for 50 years. the thing that he does better than anybody else is he took tester on tonight, the senator from montana and it was like he had the opposition research list. oftentimes people go out in the past saying vote for the republican or the democrat. but he's gone through the litany list and made the attacks on tester. and basically offset any kind of advertising -- david: by the way, that's why he is in montana. he's trying to get one more vote in the u.s. senate. john tester is a democrat. the state itself voted by 20% margin in favor of donald trump,
10:40 pm
not democrat hillary clinton, despite the fact that tester is expected at now anyway to win. but this speech, ed, may change that. >> well there's 123 days left in the campaign and you're going to see him out, i think, at least four or five times a week doing exactly this and maybe more so. he loves this. he's not afraid to say the things that need to be said to rev up the crowd. and the reality is this is about intensity. who is going to get their side more intense and certainly he's become a cheerleader for the republican party and he's certainly the leader of the republican party and certainly anyone in doubt about who he's for in montana today, particularly know why -- david: he did ask one question during the speech. he said how did tester get elect pd. the fact is that montana is a state divided. it's one of those states that res very conservative on the east side. the west side has a te tendencyo
10:41 pm
be liberal. you see a direct point -- it's a coal producing state. so he emphasized what he's done for not only coal specifically but in general energy. in'there's a very important military base in montana. he talked about what he's done with defense. he was hitting issues that directly affect all montanaians and the second amendment which i think the liberal montanaians want to defend the second amendment. >> no one is going to take their gun away. tester is a farmer, a man who basically has won twice there for the senate. but he's in a real fight and my sense is even though he has a slight lead today, the state auditor rosendale is going to run against him is going to be a viable can date. this is a ways that we have to win. we've got four of five of the ten that trump carried last time that we have to win and this is one of them. david: and i wonder to what extent the democrats' insistence on not just accepting somebody
10:42 pm
like cortez, the 28-year-old socialist who won the primary, may be the next congressman from the bronx area of new york, but now democratic national committee chair tom paris calls her the future of the democrat party. i mean what is, what is happening to the democrats? >> obviously they're trying to find a path forward. they can't figure out how trump has bea beat them so badly overd over again. there's no young leaders. this young woman is going to be, even though she's a socialist and admits she's a socialist is going to be out of tune with the mainstream. but people like hilled bran hild the democrats that want to run for president, they're going to adopt a lot of the aibt anti-i.c.e. -- david: and we heard the new slo
10:43 pm
slogan keep america great. he thinks there's enough accomplishment to just say keep america great. now we know the slogan for 2020. ed rollins, we got to leave it at that. thank you for being here. >> thank you. david: epa administrator scott pruitt out after a series of scandal ps ch president trump tweeting he's accepted pruitt's resignation. he faces 13 federal inquiries. pruitt denies all wron wrongdoi. andrew wheeler is taking over as acting director. the fbi counter intelligence agents who vowed to stop trump may ignore a new house subpoena to testify in public. we're talking to chris farrell about the public hearing scheduled for peter strzok right after the break. stay with us. find the remote yet? nah. honey look, your old portable cd player. my high school rethainer. oh don't...
10:44 pm
it's early 90s sitcom star dave coulier... cut...it...out!

i've gotten to where i am at because of my family. and, the wounded warrior project has helped me more than i can ever imagine. they have really been there to support me in my endeavors. my number one goal, basically, is to get close to where i was. i am more than ready to work hard to get to that goal. i am living proof to never give up and i will never give up. chris farrell, director of investigations and research for judicial watch. chris, today we heard from actually it was last night, the lawyer for peter strzok, the fbi's peter strzok, the very biased peter strzok. and he was suggesting why it is that people strzok may refuse a subpoena to testify before congress.
10:48 pm
i want to play the sound bite and get your reaction. >> sure. >> because we have come to the conclusion -- we've been forced to come to the conclusion that this is not a search for truth. it is a chance for republican members of the house to preen and pos cheur before their most radical conspiracy minded constituents. from our experience with the committee thus far, it is obvious that they don't want the truth. david: chris, i don't think it's radical to expect our justice system to be free of political bias. i don't think it's radical to suggest the fbi not apply political bias to effect an election result. do you? >> look. this attorney represents a client with grave exposure criminally and also civilly. and he's using projection -- this is agitation propaganda. he's using projection of exactly
10:49 pm
the opposite of the truth as a means to distract and dissuade the public. this guy strzok is up to his neck is boiling oil. he has got a real problem. his attorney faces an impossible situation. and so he will say virtually anything to distract and deflect from all of the text messages, all of the language, all of the conduct. look, it's a publicity stunt. david: actually that's encouraging to hear. because it doesn't rule out the possibility that he will appear before a committee. but i have to move on because of the president we had to shorten this segment. the mueller investigation, there's a lot of reports today, first in bloomberg and then in ax yos that it is expanding, he's borrowing more prosecutors from the department of justice. other people say no, he's unloading some of the case work that he has on to prosecutors
10:50 pm
from the department of justice. what's the truth there. >> it's all unloading. this is the same guy that indicted 13 russians and named them to make sure they would never return to the united states and never face prosecution. if he were serious, he would have had sealed indictments so when the russians went to miami in january for vacation they would have been arrested. he's not interested in doing prosecutions. he's interested in spinning all minor cases, like the southern district of new york. this has nothing to do with the president, nothing to do with the phony collusion narrative. he has to take these cases and farm them out to get rid of them. david: what about rod rosenstein. isn't it up to rod rosenstein to monitor what mr. mueller is doing and if so, he doesn't seem to be doing a good job of it. >> he's complicit. he's disqualified. he's a fact witness in the case for the actual firing of comey and the appointment of mueller.
10:51 pm
rosenstein has no business going into the justice department every day. david: chris farrell from judicial watch. we wish we had more time. thank you for being with us. the white house still putting the pressure on north korea to denuclearize with another visit to the peninsula. general jack keane is here to discuss all of the details coming next. and now for the rings... i'm a four-year-old ring bearer with a bad habit of swallowing stuff. and if you don't have the right coverage, you could be paying for that pricey love band yourself. so get an allstate agent, and be better protected from mayhem. like me. ♪

[♪] david: i'm david asman. lou dobbs has the night off. mike pompeo make his fourth trip to north korea. he plans to press the regime and whether they are work on denuclearization on the peninsula. joining me is retired four-star general jack keane. you listen to the democrats and to the media bad mouthing president trump and this latest visit pompeo is taking to north korea, they expect something instant to happen. it reminds me of something nicholas k rirks stof wrote, democrats seem more concerned with undermining trump than supporting a peace process. >> there is a lot of that out there and it's sad to see.
10:56 pm
when obama was trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with iran and our allies. he had critics and i was one of them, and the point was we wanted a strong deal. we were encouraging the president, not discouraging him. that's what's so different here. with the visit you mentioned in the introduction. i believe this is pivotal. i believe secretary poll pave oh is on a showdown visit with kim jong-un. as you mentioned in the introduction. the intelligence sources that there is a possibility of expansion and not demin i shallment of nuclear weapons. david: i think of pompeo's
10:57 pm
predecessors like madeleine albright who was played like a fiddle. he was former head of the cia. he knows where all the bodies are buried. then i look at john bolton. nothing naive about john bolton. the name place right now is better equipped to stand up to what might be going on in north korea than anybody i can think of. >> there is no doubt about that. secretary pompeo will remind kim jong-un what the alternative is. if you are not forth coming with a plan we are going back to maximum sanctions. if we don't get china's cooperation, we intend to sanction them. we are going to move towards military preparedness. we'll stop sending family to the south core ria, families of our military people assigned there.
10:58 pm
everything will begin to change rather dramatically if we don't get the results the administration has insisted on, and the results kim jong-un promised. david: i think back to ronald reagan and his dancing with mikhail gorbachev, that took months and years of talks and retalks, occasionally walking out of some. why should we expect anything less this time? >> i think the concern we have is we have to move in this right direction now. i believe the president does not want to pass this proper local his successors as it was passed to him. he wants to wrap this up by 2020. he wants them to be well on their way to complete denuclearization of nuclear weapons and missiles. he wants wants to know when he turns this thing over to his own
10:59 pm
administration for another four years that he completed the mission. that's the path he is on. it's not an unreasonable path. i think it's aspirational to get it done in a year. and i think that's where his mindset was. but i think a couple years is definitely possible. david: i'm wondering if you can quickly wrap what the intentions are with the summit between president trump and putin? >> i think from the president's point of view, establish a personal relationship that could lead to eventually improving on some of the fundamental disagreements we had. just as he was able to do with president xi at mar-a-lago and president xi began to cooperate on north korea. even though there are other fundamental differences. david: thank you very much. great stuff, appreciate it. that's it for us for tonight.
11:00 pm
thank you for joining us. what a night, huh? it was an incredible rally in montana from the president. we hope you enjoyed it. i will see you tomorrow night. good night from new
